Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

The water of the Yellow River comes from the sky!

The poet is the poet, and the simple seven words will depict the Yellow River is dripping and exquisite.

This riverbed, which is almost suspended in mid-air, not only gives birth to human civilization, but also protects the people of this land.

If the heroes of the north want to conquer the Central Plains, they must first conquer this river from the sky. However, it is this river that has made countless heroes bend their backs.

Wanyan Zongwang, as a military strategist, had already expected from the moment he sent out the army that he would have to face this natural danger, and for this, he also made a lot of preparations, but the funny thing is that the truth is far easier than he thought.

The Daimyo's Mansion was lost, the Jin army was preparing for two or three days, and immediately divided the troops into four roads, and forcibly crossed the Yellow River with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, they thought that they would encounter the resistance of the Song army here, but until they all went ashore safely, Wuzi did not even see the shadow of the Song army.

After some inquiry, I learned that as early as the day when the Daimyo's Mansion was lost, the Song army had all fled.

This made Wanyan Zongwang cry and laugh, and he was also very disappointed, this was really easy, but the situation did not allow him to think too much, and immediately according to the plan made earlier, the four-way army gathered in Huazhou and attacked the last weak line of defense north of Kaifeng.

However, when the armies from all walks of life converged in Huazhou, they were surprised by the situation in front of them.

But seeing that the gate of the entire Huazhou was open, not to mention the Song army on the city wall, not even a single citizen was seen, and the whole city was quiet, like a dead city.

It's so weird!

Is it an empty city plan?

Wanyan Zongwang cautiously sent a sentry to investigate first.

The sentry was almost three feet into the ground, and there was not a single person in sight.

After Yan Zongwang learned of this qiē, he led a large army into the city. But this qiē in front of you makes the generals of the Jin Army see flowers in the fog, and it is understandable that you give up the Daimyo's Mansion, but this Huazhou is directly connected to Kaifeng. Why don't you send troops to guard it?

Wanyan Zongwang has been fighting for decades, and it is the first time he has encountered this situation, because this situation is too special. Therefore, on the contrary, he did not dare to enter rashly. Immediately send someone around to find out the news.

"Report!"

In the evening, the sentinel sent finally returned, "Second Prince Qiqi, there is no one within fifty miles west of Huazhou." ”

Before Yan Zongwang could say anything, another sentry ran in and said, "Second Prince Qiqi, it is inevitable that there will be no one living in Huazhou fifty miles away. ”

"What?"

Wanyan Zongwang Huo Ran got up. He said, "Are all these people running?" But I thought to myself, this must be too clean.

The sentinel replied, "According to the information from the villain, these residents did not run away, and they were a few days ago. All of them moved to Bianliang City, and they also transported all the food into Bianliang City. ”

When Yan Zongwang heard this, he immediately understood the other party's intentions and waved his hand. He said, "All right, go down." ”

"Yes."

Liu Yanzong said: "Second prince, it seems that they plan to defend Bianliang!" ”

Dujianbi Qingye has reached this kind of journey, and they have subjectively affirmed that Li Qi must have chosen to defend Kaifeng City.

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said, "Let's come down all the way." Although they did not encounter any obstacles, they did not gain as much as they imagined, and they must have already planned to fight a protracted battle with me here. ”

Liu Yanzong frowned and said: "Although the Song army is vulnerable, if they can't defend it, and then rely on the city walls and fortresses of Kaifeng Mansion to defend it, we really can't do anything about them for a while." ”

The commander of the East Road Army, Yan Mu, snorted, and said disdainfully: "Back then, in the battle of Chuhedian, Taizu Shengshang wiped out almost all the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao army with only 3,000 soldiers and horses. The incompetence of the Song army has been fully revealed, and I dare to guarantee that once we attack, the Song army will definitely go out of the city and surrender. Zongwang, let's take Kaifeng in one go. ”

Liu Yanzong said: "By all means, the Song army has made such preparations before this, presumably it has already been solemnly prepared, if we attack rashly, it is in the hands of the enemy, I think that when we readjust the deployment, we must not be careless." ”

Wanyan Zongwang asked Pharmacist Guo again, "What does General Guo think?" ”

Guo Yaoshi pondered for a moment and said: "With our current strength, it is difficult to completely encircle Kaifeng, in this case, we should take the temptation first, concentrate our forces to attack in one direction, once a gap is opened, the Song army will definitely be defeated." The last general had bowed with people in the northwest city, and accidentally found that the Song Dynasty's Tiansi Prison was there, there were 20,000 good horses in it, which was the last belongings of the Song army. ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, suddenly frowned, and said, "It's strange, why is there no news from Zong Han's side." ”

Liu Yanzong said: "Second prince, please rest assured, I have already sent someone to find out the news, and I should be back soon." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another sentry ran in and said, "Second Prince Qiqi, the army of the Western Road encountered stubborn resistance from the Song army in Taiyuan, and it has not yet been broken. ”

"What?" Wanyan Zongwang frowned and said, "Could it be that they are still in Taiyuan?" ”

The sentinel nodded.

"Bastard, why is Zong Han so confused."

After Yan Zongwang slapped the table, Huo Ran got up and said angrily: "I said that I would take Kaifeng first, attack if I can, and leave if I can't attack it, take speed first, why does he want to stay in Taiyuan, this-this is really a bad thing for me!" ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "Second prince, please calm your anger, I thought that General Wanyan was also helpless." ”

"Oh?"

Wanyan Zongwang said: "How do you say this? ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "The army of the West Road is different from us, we can cross the Yellow River so quickly, the army of the Gaine River Shuo has already existed in name only, and the most elite army of the Southern Dynasty is all in the northwest, including the army of the family and the army of the folded family, these two armies should not be underestimated, if the army of the West Road bypasses Taiyuan and goes south, it will definitely be cut off by the Western army, and then the enemy will be on the back, we can only send troops to rescue, so that it is extremely unfavorable to our army, and Kaifeng can also save the danger. ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongwang sat back again. He knows Yan Zonghan's military talent well, and he is definitely not weaker than him. Even surpassed him in this aspect, and a month had passed. has not yet captured Taiyuan, which shows that what Guo Yaoshi said is true, and the Northwest Army is full of talents.

Pharmacist Guo said again: "Otherwise, let's wait for the Western Road army first." ”

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and said: "We can't wait any longer, we are already deep in the hinterland, once the reinforcements from all walks of life of the Southern Dynasty reach Kaifeng, our situation will become extremely bad." ”

Liu Yanzong said: "But only with our army. I'm afraid it's hard to take Kaifeng in one go. ”

Wanyan Zongwang shook the horsewhip, since he grew up on horseback, this horsewhip is not always in his hand, and said, "The situation has changed. It may not be possible to take Kaifeng as expected, so we should find a way to delay the rescue of the Southern Korean reinforcements, so that we will have enough time to capture Kaifeng. Take the map. ”

Soon, an extremely simple map was laid out in front of Wanyan Zongwang.

All the generals of the Jin army also surrounded them.

Wanyan Zongwang's gaze had been scanning the northwest area on the map. After a long time, he suddenly pointed to the map with his hand and said, "Here." ”

The rest of the people fixed their eyes, and it turned out that the location that Wanyan Zong was pointing to was Tongguan, and they couldn't help but look at Wanyan Zongwang curiously.

Wanyan Zongwang smiled: "The elite of the Western Army." All in Tongguan, if you want to rescue Kaifeng, you must first go out of Tongguan, as long as our army can blockade here, cut off the western army, as long as the western army is not there, we will have enough time to capture Kaifeng. ”

When the generals heard this, they nodded their heads one after another.

Wanyan Zongwang said: "Come on, quickly pass on my message, inform Zong Han, let him leave 10,000 horses, surround Taiyuan, and surround but not fight, mainly to lure and surrender, if Taiyuan dares to go out of the city to face the battle, and then break it." Let him immediately lead the rest of the men and horses to Tongguan, and be sure to block Tongguan and prevent the Western Army from coming to aid Kaifeng. ”

"Yes."

Wanyan Zongwang said loudly again: "Benjian, Naye, Saira, Shuliesu." ”

"The end will be."

"You immediately lead 3,000 cavalry each, hold the main roads south of Kaifeng, take the initiative to attack, and be sure to repel the Song reinforcements."

"Yes."

"The rest of the people marched with me to Kaifeng."

"The last will obey."

After the order, the generals immediately left the base camp.

At this moment, there was a sudden passage outside: "Second prince, secret letter." ”

Wanyan Zongwang raised his eyebrows and said, "It's finally here." Hurry up and bring it in. ”

I saw a man walk in and hand over a secret letter.

Although Wanyan Zongwang admires Han culture and has been working hard to learn Chinese characters in recent years, he has not yet reached the point of knowing all the letters, so a person next to him took the letter and read it.

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, because the content of the letter had already described the situation in Bianliang.

After hearing this, Yan Zongwang laughed.

Pharmacist Guo looked suspicious and said, "Second prince, this letter ——? ”

"Absolutely."

Guo Yaoshi also understood in his heart, nodded with a smile and said: "Second prince, with my understanding of the Southern Dynasty Duanjun, he is definitely not ill, he must have absconded after hearing the wind, so the Song army must be demoralized." Moreover, the third prince has always been arrogant and lacks actual combat experience, so he is by no means the opponent of the second prince. ”

Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said, "I have seen this person, and he was still a defeated general under me, so there is no need to worry." The key is still that stinky cook, now that he has real power, I believe that everything here is also arranged by him. ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "The last general was a subordinate of this cook, which is indeed like his style. This man is scheming and eloquent, but if he is really swordsman, he is not worried. ”

Wanyan Zongwang said: "You still underestimate him, he has already realized that our goal is Kaifeng, so he dares to boldly give up the north of the Yellow River, because it is impossible to occupy these places with our troops, and if it were someone else, he would definitely send troops to aid the Daimyo's Mansion, but he didn't, he knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat us, and he did this, undoubtedly minimizing the loss, from this point alone, we must not underestimate him." Still, I wanted to meet this old friend first. (To be continued)
